1. Summary
For low-income adults in urban areas, the challenges of reentry can be particularly daunting. With the
right support and resources, reentry services can help reduce recidivism and support successful
integration into the community. Services may include job training, housing assistance, mental health
services, substance abuse treatment, and access to education.
Working Title: Reentry Services in an Urban Setting with Adults who have low income: Navigating the
Path to a Better Future
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the challenges faced by adults with low income in an urban setting upon reentry
into a community.
2. To explore the role of reentry services in reducing recidivism and supporting successful
integration.
3. To identify key strategies for addressing the needs of adults with low income during the reentry
process.
4. To highlight the benefits and outcomes of effective reentry services for adults with low income
in urban areas
Introduction:
Reentry services refer to the support and resources that help individuals who are being released from
prison, jail or detention facilities, to successfully transition back into their communities. Reentry services
can include education, job training, and housing support, among others. In this talk, we will explore
reentry services in an urban setting for adults with low income. Reentry services are essential for those
who have been incarcerated and want to rebuild their lives. For adults with low income who live in
urban areas, the challenges of reentry can be particularly daunting.
Challenges range from finding employment and stable housing to addressing mental health and
substance abuse issues. The path to a better future can seem impossible to follow and the barriers
insurmountable. However, with the right support and resources, reentry services can help reduce
recidivism and support successful integration into a community. Reentry services are crucial in reducing
recidivism and promoting success for individuals returning from incarceration. Studies have shown that
individuals who receive reentry services are less likely to re-offend and more likely to secure
employment, obtain stable housing, and reintegrate into the community (Lapham, 2014).
Challenges of Reentry in Urban Settings:
Adults in urban areas who have low-income often face unique challenges upon reentry. These include a
lack of affordable housing, discrimination, limited job opportunities, and inadequate access to
healthcare and other essential services. These barriers can make it difficult for individuals to integrate
into a community and increase the likelihood of recidivism. Additionally, programs that are culturally
responsive and take into account the unique experiences of low-income youth have been found to be
more effective in reducing recidivism and supporting successful reentry (Weber, 2018).
2. Poverty is a major barrier to successful reentry for most adults who came from low-income situations
prior to his/her/their incarceration. Studies have shown that poverty is a significant predictor of
recidivism and that individuals who are struggling financially are more likely to re-offend (Johnson,
2016). Reentry services must address the financial needs of low-income adults by providing job training,
employment assistance, and access to financial resources.
Limited education is another challenge faced by low-income adults upon reentry. Many individuals
returning from incarceration have limited education and lack the skills necessary to secure employment
(Baumeister & Leary, 1995). Reentry services must provide educational opportunities and job training to
help individuals acquire the skills necessary to succeed.
Access to resources is also a significant challenge for low-income adults upon reentry. Many individuals
struggle to secure housing, access healthcare and obtain basic necessities. Reentry services must
provide access to resources such as housing assistance, healthcare services, and basic needs support to
help individuals reintegrate into the community.
The Role of Reentry Services:
Reentry services play a crucial role in helping adults with low income overcome the challenges of reentry
and support successful integration into the community. Services may include job training, housing
assistance, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and access to academic and vocational
programs. These services can help reduce recidivism and support a successful transition into the
community.
Key Strategies for Addressing the Needs of adults with low income:
1. Address housing insecurity: Providing affordable and stable housing is crucial for adults with low
income in urban areas. Without stable housing, it can be difficult for individuals to focus on
other aspects of reentry, such as finding employment and accessing healthcare.
2. Support job training and employment: Job training and employment programs can help low-
income adults in urban areas secure a stable source of income and support their integration into
the community.
3. Provide access to health services and treatment: Mental health and substance abuse issues can
be significant barriers to successful reentry. Providing access to effective treatment can help
individuals overcome these challenges and support their transition back into the community.
4. Intensive, person-focused and trauma informed case management services can help individuals
access and coordinate essential resources, as well as providing support and guidance
throughout the reentry process.
3. Benefits and Outcomes:
Effective reentry services can have a significant impact on the lives of low-income adults, improving
their chances of finding and retaining employment, obtaining stable housing, and reducing the risk of
recidivism. Research has shown that individuals who receive reentry services are more likely to
successfully integrate back into their communities and less likely to reoffend (Burt, et al., 2018; Turner,
et al., 2019; Roman, et al., 2021).
Conclusion:
Reentry services play a crucial role in reducing recidivism and supporting successful integration into a
community. By addressing the unique challenges faced by adults with low income in urban areas, these
services can help individuals overcome the barriers to reentry and achieve a better future.
